W. J. Sando 1983 | Cerioid Acrocyathus? with corallite diameter 7 to 13 mm and 17 to 30 major septa that com-monly extend across the tabularium to the columella and seldom extend into the tabularium. Minor septa or-dinarily well developed. Columella complex, composed of an axial plate, septal lamellae, and the upturned edges of tabulae. Dissepimentarium composed of a single row of inflated dissepiments. Tabulae complete, essentially horizontal, but deflected upward at columella, and spaced about 0. 75 mm apart. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter about 0.4 to 0.5. Increase is peripheral. |
